go-karts

Small motorized racing vehicles

Go-karts are small, low-to-the-ground vehicles with open frames, typically powered by small engines.

They're used for recreational racing on dedicated tracks or as introductory vehicles for young drivers learning motorsports.

The simplicity—four wheels, a seat, a steering wheel, and an engine—makes them accessible and relatively inexpensive.

Also spelled go-carts.
